A Changed Man

He steps 
Out of his confinement.
Beams of light,
In which he had forgotten,
Cascade down
His rough and hard face.
The walls of regret, 
No longer contain him.

One breath in,
Then out.
His set face
Melts
Into the man he used to be.   

Memories 
Of his little girl
Flicker across his mind,
And his ways are changed 
Forever.

I love the hope this portrays.... And how you made the complexity of it so simple.
